The Purse Gods Sing With Praise

It's finally happened, Dooney & Bourke has crawled out of the pit of what-were-you-thinking handbags. I introduce to you the Rope collection...


I have a soft spot for Dooney and just love their bags, but when they started coming out with stuff like this:
I was ashamed at their design team. I know they try to target a younger crowd and by the looks of at least 3 of the 4 above handbags the target audience screams 3 year old girls who finger paint. The first bag isn't that bad - just not my style. Even the Hayden bag (the cheerleader from Heroes) is a little bleh to me but it was the foothold that began the rise out of the design rut at D&B. So welcome back Dooney & Bourke.
